This announcement comes after the band recently postponed the release of their third album. Californian Soil was intended to be released earlier this month on 12 February, however was pushed back for unknown reasons. The album is now set for release on April 9. Writer and vocalist Hannah Reid said of the album to Charlotte Krol for NME:

“This record is about gaining possession of my own life. You imagine success will be amazing. Then you see it from the inside and ask, ‘Why am I not controlling this thing? Why am I not allowed to be in control of it? And does that connect, in any way to being a woman? If so, how can I do that differently?'”

The record deals with themes of feminism and fame. Reid voices her own perspective having experienced misogyny in the music industry first-hand. The band has already released three singles from the upcoming album including the title track which they described as a ‘turning point’ for the upcoming album. Other releases include Lose Your Head and Baby It’s You.

Californian Soil is signature London Grammar, presenting their dreamy style alongside a moody and atmospheric beat reminicient of Massive Attacks Teardrop. This song provides a perfect opening to what has promised to be a more danceable album than the bands previous work.  Baby It’s You futhers the bands evolution into electronic music with the help of acclaimed producer George FitzGerald. The song peaked at number 80 on the UK singles chart. Lose Your Head is an elegiac dance track with darker lyrics, reflecting on a defiant break out from a controlling releationship. These releases signal a new era for the band, elevating their ethereal and ambient sound with an electronic edge.

London Grammar is offering fans early access to tickets if they pre-order Californian Soil in any format before 3 pm on Monday 1st March.

General release on sale Friday 5^th March at 10 am.

As well as performing her own shows in a series of intimate venues, the 20-year-old is also set to perform at next year’s Reading Festival, which was recently criticised for its poor gender equality. Beabadoobee is one of the very few female performers on its 2021 line up.

Speaking to NME about Fake It Flowers, the artist said ‘Lyrically, there’s just so much more to reflect on, and with the sound, I guess, naturally after playing arenas with The 1975, I wanted to make songs that would fill those rooms. I wanted to sound powerful’; she says she even ‘went proper screamo’ for one of the tracks. The star is very pleased with how the record turned out: ‘I’m mostly just proud of my band and my producer, because they made this exactly as it sounded in my head… Every time I give them a song, they’re like, ‘yep, I know what to do’, which is the most satisfying, amazing feeling’.

The tour takes the band across the country to perform tracks from their massively successful back-catalogue, that have been celebrated by fans since their debut album ‘In Search of Elusive Little Comets’ was released in 2011. Their most streamed track on Spotify ‘Dancing Song’ proved a hit, early on in the bands career, and was featured on a Radox advert in 2012!

Little Comets have recently released their track ‘American Tuna’, debuting on April 4th of this year, following not long after another single ‘The Sneeze’ which was released in March. Both tracks have received positive feedback from fans, and more records can be expected for later this year. 

Singer Rob Coles has expressed his excitement for the tour ahead stating “we’ve spent so much time in the studio this year that we can’t wait to play these creations live”. Little Comets’ previous albums have been filled with upbeat, guitar-driven British indie sounds, and after listening to the two latest singles; we can expect the same quirky lyrics and catchy melodies from their upcoming album. 

Coles went on to say “The reaction to the new songs has been fantastic, so it will be great to finally play them for people, plus we haven’t toured in two years, so the shows shows should have a real celebratory feel to them!”. It seems that Little Comets have all to celebrate for, already flourishing in 2019, we can only see the band reaching success after success.
